Channel Objects and Data Map

The structure of the global data in two Siebel instances on the connector network may be different, either because of different business rules in different divisions or different versions. Such differences require that global data needs to be mapped from one structure to another for synchronization across the network. A data map, either a Siebel Data Mapper data map or an eScript data map, can be associated with each channel object. If a data map is specified, it is automatically executed before publishing or after receiving data on that channel. For more details about data mapping, see Business Processes and Rules: Siebel eBusiness Application Integration Volume IV.
